Congratulations to Duckie L’Orange – our 2025 Ross & Rose Hill UNIMA Australia Scholarship recipient! 
An Australian-born, Berlin-based whirlwind of creativity, Duckie blends puppetry with clowning, drag, immersive installations and community arts to create hilarious, challenging, and deeply unique performance works for both kids and grown-ups. 
From the Sydney Opera House to Fusion Festival, from Kalimantan to Copenhagen – Duckie has wowed audiences worldwide with her wild and wonderful characters. Whether it’s performing pretend surgery, co-hosting steampunk carnivals, bringing dinosaurs to life, or roving at Expo 2020 Dubai, she brings a mix of chaos, comedy and craft wherever she goes.
With the support of the scholarship, Duckie will develop a brand-new short-form feminist comedy cabaret piece for adults. The piece will be brought to life with a specially commissioned puppet designed by acclaimed Sydney-based maker Alli Sebastian Wolf. We can’t wait to see this important, provocative, and side-splitting new work come to life!
